My American Dream
By Malcholm Dark
Here lately... you've become a
real bitch!
You were a beauty queen and so pristine
I was the captain of the football team.
I was so damn young, yes
a trap was sprung
Now, I feel like the boy who has been hung.
This cannot be real, so what is the deal
Is this contempt for you
in which I feel?
Your laughter rings free when you
rag on me
That torments me so, I wish you could see.
As your
anger descends, you have those moody trends
I am treated like
shit in front of all our friends.
I know it is a shame, when
I call you that name
But at times you are wickedly shrewd and
untame.
--I had once considered you my American dream
now you screech and howl like a banshee witch.
--Please do
not misconstrue what I truly mean
but here lately... you've become
a real bitch!
I know not what it means, your nagging
it seems
Even curses my sleep here at night in my dreams.
I
wake up in a sweat, the bed sheets are wet
And there are times
I wish we had never met.
Softer my voice is too, I whisper as not
to waken you
"Still, you are my American dream and my love is true."
But here lately... you've become a real bitch!

Great write Dark, if the guys on Jerry Springer had any poetic talent, this is what they would tell their girlfriends lol. Rather humorous, and it's an unspeakable horror we as men must face ;).
